Objectives and Strategy

Fund Objective

The Fund seeks to track the return (income and capital appreciation) of the MSCI World ex-Australia Index (with net dividends reinvested) hedged into Australian dollars before taking into account fees, expenses, and tax.

Fund Strategy

The Vanguard Index Hedged International Shares Fund gains its exposure to securities in the index by investing in the Vanguard International Shares Index Fund (Hedged) (the underlying fund). The fund is exposed to forward foreign exchange contracts and all of the securities in the index most of time, allowing for individual security weightings to vary marginally from the index from time to time. The fund may be exposed to securities that have been removed from or are expected to be included in the index.

Be rewarded for investing!

Recently, the federal government introduced a package of reforms known as the Future of Financial Advice - FoFA for short. Among other things, the package bans trailing fees and other commissions for new investments in retail investment products from 1 July 2013. That's good news for investors!

Unfortunately, the reforms don't cover existing investments - so even after 1 July 2013, you could find yourself paying hidden commissions on managed funds. That means TrailCap can still save you money.
